Visualizing Sea-Level Rise @ McLaughlin Eastshore State Park

Join Citizens for East Shore Parks (CESP) to visualize sea-level rise at McLaughlin Eastshore State Park on Saturday, July 29, 2017. We’re inviting the public to make a statement along the shoreline by marking off where the “new” shoreline will be with 2-meters of sea-level rise. Volunteers will hold up blue banners along the 2-meter sea-level rise mark to raise awareness about sea-level rise and call on public leaders to look to resilient shoreline solutions to mitigate sea-level rise. The first Visualizing Sea-level Rise event was held in Jack London Oakland on April 22, 2017. Read more about this event in a write up from CSU East ...

Visualizing Sea-level Rise Event Recap

The image above was created by GROUNDWORKS Office. It shows the shoreline at Oakland's Jack London Square with 2-meters (approx. 6 feet) of sea-level rise. On Earth Day 2017 volunteers gathered together for CESP's first Visualizing Sea-level Rise event. Together we held fabric panels along the 2-meter sea-level rise mark to raise awareness about climate change and to "visualize" sea-level rise along Oakland's waterfront. The event engaged approximately 30 volunteers and was featured on 4 media outlets, KGO-TV, NBC Bay Area, The Pioneer (CSU East Bay newspaper) and KPFA-FM.

Albany Neck and Bulb Bird Survey Protocol

This survey included specific trails where area searches and point counts were conducted. A point count is a method of counting birds during which a trained observer records all the birds seen and heard from a point count station for a set period of time. In this survey, team members counted birds around a 360º point at a distance of 50 meters during a time period of 2 minutes. Approximately 30 seconds was spent counting birds in each quarter (90 degrees) of the 360º circle. A series of point counts completed over a fixed route can then be compared to the results of the same point counts in other seasons or years. An area search in...
